At our studio where dance sparks joy, kindness, and connection, our preschool combo classes are thoughtfully designed to nurture imagination, confidence, and community in our youngest dancers.

Each class blends the magic of creative movement with foundational dance skills in a fun and supportive environment. Through engaging weekly themes, dancers explore movement concepts that spark creativity and encourage self-expression. Our approach builds confidence, teaches classroom kindness and teamwork, and helps develop important social-emotional skills — all while having a blast!

Acro Tech Programs

Ages: 5 and up

Our Acro Technique program is designed to develop strength, flexibility, balance, and body control through safe, progressive training. Dancers begin with foundational skills such as rolls, bridges, handstands, cartwheels, and basic limbering, then advance to more challenging skills including walkovers, chest stands, aerial progressions, and controlled partner or balance work. Each level emphasizes proper progressions, clean technique, and body awareness, allowing dancers to build power, precision, and confidence while seamlessly integrating acro skills into their dance.

Ballet Programs

Ages: 5 and up

Ballet is the heart of dance – building strength, flexibility, coordination, and grace. Through this timeless art form, dancers develop discipline, integrity, and a deep understanding of movement and posture.

Our ballet program combines the best of RAD, Vaganova, and Cecchetti techniques to create a well-rounded, progressive training syllabus. Students develop strong technique, graceful lines, musicality, and artistry while building a solid foundation for all levels of classical ballet.

Tap Programs

Ages: 6 and up

Tap is all about rhythm, creativity, and making music with your feet! Dancers explore timing, coordination, and musicality while building strong technical skills in a high-energy, supportive environment.

With a focus on fun, teamwork, and self-expression, our tap classes help dancers grow in confidence as they learn to listen, lead, and let their personality shine through every step.

Hip Hop Programs

Ages: 6 and up

This is a fun, upbeat class that blends hip hop and commercial styles of dance. Dancers begin with a strength and conditioning warm-up, followed by progressions across the floor and intricate choreography.

As they learn the latest moves and techniques, students develop confidence and embrace their unique individuality. With an emphasis on creativity, fun, and community, our hip hop classes encourage self-expression and teamwork, allowing each dancer to shine and express their personal style through movement.

Jazz Programs

Ages: 5 and up

Jazz is a high-energy class that combines turns, leaps, and isolations to create dynamic movement. A typical class includes a warm-up, center combo, and progressions across the floor, all designed to enhance technique and performance.

We follow the ADAPT syllabus and utilize Dance Labs and other teaching platforms, blending fresh moves and innovative techniques to keep the experience exciting and challenging.

Lyrical Programs

Ages: 6 and up

Lyrical dance blends the expressive movement of ballet and jazz with the emotional storytelling of contemporary dance. This class focuses on fluidity, connection, and self-expression, allowing dancers to convey deep emotions through movement.

With an emphasis on creativity, confidence, and grace, lyrical dance helps students connect with their inner selves while building strength, flexibility, and technique. Dancers learn to interpret music and lyrics, transforming them into a powerful, expressive performance.

Musical Theatre Programs

Step into the spotlight! Our Musical Theatre classes combine acting, dancing, and lip-syncing/singing to help students become confident and dynamic performers. Dancers will learn choreography inspired by Broadway and film musicals while developing stage presence, storytelling skills, and character expression.

Whether your child is a born performer or wants to build confidence and creativity, this class is the perfect outlet for self-expression and fun. Each session will build toward a performance piece to showcase their progress and personality on stage!

Turns+Leaps


Ages: 5.5 and up

Focus on turns, leaps, and jumps while building strength, flexibility, and control. This class helps dancers refine technique, improve power and precision, and elevate their performance across all dance styles.

Dance Team

Our Commercial Dance Team blends the high-energy styles of Hip Hop and Jazz, focusing on technique, performance, and teamwork. We strive to create well-rounded dancers who excel not only in their dance training but also in building confidence, leadership, and lifelong connections.
